The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss called out her estranged husband, Todd Tucker, for allegedly not seeing their kids a ton since their divorce, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
On Thursday, January 8, Burruss, 49, filed court docs demanding a hearing be set to determine parenting time and child support as part of her divorce from Tucker, 52.
Burruss filed for divorce on November 21, 2025. The exes share two children: Ace, born in 2016, and Blaze, born in 2019.
Burruss said the kids have “significant monthly expenses” that include a nanny, tuition, extracurricular activities, birthday parties, medical bills, travel and daily needs. Burruss accused Tucker of failing to contribute to the maintenance and support of the kids’ needs, leaving it solely on her.
She claimed Tucker has failed to provide support for the kids, yet has traveled out of the country on multiple occasions for vacations.
Burruss said Tucker is a self-employed entrepreneur who can provide support for the kids. She said he does not pay the mortgage or expenses for their marital home.
In her filing, Burruss said, “Tucker does not exercise parenting time with the minor children on a significant basis despite the façade of his two-to-three-minute social media videos chronicling his ‘Daddy Daycare’ on his social media platforms.”
Burruss claimed Tucker intentionally interfered with her custody time. Her lawyer noted, “Specifically, during the recent Christmas holiday break, [Tucker] attempted to prohibit the children from traveling to New York to visit [Burruss] even though she had previously incurred costs of travel for the children and provided [Tucker] with significant notice of her intent to exercise parenting time during the children’s designated Holiday Break.”
Burruss asked the court to set a custody schedule. When contacted for comment on Burrus’ motion, Tucker’s lawyer, Randall Kessler, told Us, “Rather than commenting to the press, we leave these matters to the court and what is in our properly filed documents.”
A couple of days before, on January 5, Tucker fought Burruss’ request for a confidentiality order. He claimed she had talked about the divorce “with various media outlets.” Tucker said he was the one who had refrained from talking about the split.
“[Burruss] has engaged in a public press tour, including making statements directly and through her agents to multiple media outlets, and has continued to publicize the existence and substance of this litigation on social media and in the press,” Tucker’s motion read. “Having voluntarily placed the proceedings into the public domain, [Burruss] cannot now credibly claim that sealing the case is necessary to protect the integrity of the proceedings or the best interests of the minor children.”
Tucker’s lawyer added, “Rather, the requested relief appears aimed at selectively restricting public access in order to control the narrative of a dispute that [Burruss] herself has chosen to make public.”
A judge has yet to rule on the requests.
As Us first reported, Burruss filed for divorce on November 21 and initially asked for joint custody, but later changed her request to primary custody after Tucker asked for sole custody in his response filing.
Tucker filed court docs on November 26 where he demanded primary custody of the two children. His lawyer noted, “[Tucker] wishes to make clear that he recognizes [Burruss] as a loving and capable parent and remains sincerely hopeful that prior and continued discussions between the parties will bring full resolution of all matters,” Tucker’s attorney noted in court docs.
His filing claimed the kids were in his care due to Burruss’ work obligations, which he said would “continue to require her to be away from the children for at least the next several months.”
As Us first reported, Tucker also opposed the prenuptial agreement being enforced, claiming his lawyer was not present. Burruss scoffed at the claims, pointing out he signed the deal on camera for their Bravo special on their wedding.
